I don't really watch a whole lot of television, which is good, since I don't have cable and haven't for over a year. Two shows I really love though, are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Friends. You should all know this by now. Since I don't have a whole lot going on right now besides work, and John Ross brought it to my attention that he and I never finished watching the top ten episodes of Buffy. This is my own personal list, but I think most Buffy fans would at least agree on the majority of the episodes, even if not on the order. A lot of people think the musical episode is the best, but I disagree. I think it is definitely a top 3, but Teetz and I were talking and we agree that "Hush" is really great. I think it's probably the best, but we'll see. I am going ot try to squish all seven seasons into a top ten list. I will post shortly. Maybe. If I don't go back to sleep. (I have been awake since around 7. Ugh.)
Also, throughout the ten years of Friends, all the characters went on tons and tons of dates, but none were in very serious relationships for very long. They met people ate the most random places, the coffee house, the movies, etc. Why don't people date like that now? Or did people really date like that ever? Anyone I have ever dated, I have not met randomly, I have met through friends who I have known for a long time. I have only had two serious relationships in my entire life, and we use the word 'serious' very loosely with Adam. Maybe long-term would be a better word to describe that one. But I met Adam through Crazy Rachel, who'd I had already known for three years. I met Drake through Brett, who I had also known for three years. I wonder why people don't date as randomly as it seems to happen on Friends. I know it's just a television show, but I also do know people in real life who date like this, who date but aren't in relationships, who met people randomly like this. I wonder why that is, and why some people can do this and some can't. What do you think?

Yeah, I'm not sure if that happens either. I think it would be fun to just randomly date people, but I'm pretty sure that is unusual.
The only time that might be possible is when something new happens in someone's life like moving to a new place. Coming from a small school, I know that there is always interest in the new person for a while so maybe they get more random invitations.
That's what I think too, it is kind of unusual. I do though, have friends who do that, they can just meet random people and go out on dates. I agree it is easier when something new happens, because you're in a new place. Like, here in Lincoln, we tend to go to the same places all the time, thus the chance for meeting new people is not so high. But Friends, for example, they were a group of six who always had stuff going on you never saw. And again, I know it's a tv show, but still. Maybe it's a New York thing. I'd still love to live in New York, and not for the dating reason. I want to be a nanny, how awesome would that be to just be a nanny in new York for a while? Man, that would be an awesome job. Wow, I was way off-topic.
